“You said a man who find a wife finds a good thing, but Lord you ain’t give me a wife – you give me a knife!”
Freeport, Grand Bahama…Having all three books in her Seeds of Hope trilogy hit best-selling lists around the world within the past year seems like an arduous task for many first time writers. Yet, Margaret C. Mullings is not your average writer. The stay-at-home mom and pastor’s wife is quick to admit she is still confused by many functions in her word processor but those who have read her work know that God has gifted her with a special anointing. Now those who have viewed her first screenplay Woman Will Thou Be Made Whole can see first hand of how she is capable of pulling in an audience to see the bigger picture.
Despite the title of Woman Will Thou Be Made Whole, this particular picture seems to zoom in on Kenny, an overwhelmed, overemotional, overburdened husband halfway down the cliff as he comes to the harsh reality that his once vibrant and vivacious wife Karen, is slowly losing her battle with cancer. Despite his tough love in forcing her to bathe, cook, get out of bed or take care their nine children, her deteriorating health seems to get the best of her in all situations except for her faith in God. Meanwhile, Kenny drops his masculine façade and reveals a side rarely seen in a strong black man as he sits at his kitchen table crying over what used to be instead of finding solace in the arms of another woman or alcohol, something audience members eagerly anticipate. Obliviously, he develops his own communication with God with the simple desperate cry: “Lord I don’t know how much more of this I can take. You said a man who find a wife finds a good thing, but Lord you ain’t give me a wife – you give me a knife!”
“Woman Will Thou Be Made Whole has been striking many chords, especially in terms of restoring faith that God has the last word on your health,” Mullings. “It seems however, that more people are connecting with the fact that Kenny is restoring the image of a hard-working, supportive and faithful husband, which is sadly a rarity today. Overall, I think there is an obvious message of hope in the play and the actors portray it perfectly. I know that God has assigned me to spread seeds of hope and it’s time to venture beyond the pages and I think that’s where visually, these scenes of hope are coming to life.”
